The same thing was done against john kerry in 2004 with the strauss waltz music playing while he wind surfed. why not go after the candidate on his positions? why go after him on his flipping? >> in the case of romney, its because its worked in the past. this was the attack line that ted kennedy tried against him in 94 successfully. and if you remember, in 2008, this is what mike huckabee and john mccain viciously went after him. i remember, we looked it up, there was this attack on him, romney ...

Thats what hes going to have to do. >> sam, its interesting that parties who think the other side might have gone too far to the right or too far to the left have still decided to hit the opponent on being a flip-flopper. im thinking back to the mcgovern campaign in 72, the nixon campaign through john connelly running something called democrats for nixon did the flip-flop ad with the signs flipping around and it goes around 360 degrees at one point and spinning around. the same thing was done ag...
